 * NAME
 *      vf_parse_init()
 * 
 * DESCRIPTION
 *      Allocate and initialise a parser.  To parse a VCARD (or any vObject)
 *      a user allocates a parser, pushes data through it using vf_parse_text()
 *      and finally calls vf_parse_end():
 *
 *          VF_PARSER_T *p_parser;
 *
 *          if (vf_parse_init(&p_parser, pp_object))
 *          {
 *              do
 *              {
 *                  char buffer[...];
 *                  int numchars;
 *              
 *                  numchars = get_chars_from_somewhere(buffer, ...);
 *
 *                  ret = vf_parse_text(p_parser, buffer, numchars);
 *              }
 *              while (ret && (0 < charsread))

 *
 *              if (!vf_parse_end(p_parser))

 *                  ret = FALSE;
 *              }
 *          }
 *
 *      A parser allocated by vf_parse_init(), must be deallocated by calling
 *      vf_parse_end() whether or not parsing succeeds. Also, parsing may not
 *      be complete (ie. values may be held buffered and not evaluated fully
 *      or assigned to a VF_OBJECT_T) untill the final call to vf_parse_end()
 *      => after a vf_parse_init() you _must_ vf_parse_end().
 *
 * RETURNS

 * NAME
 *      vf_get_property()
 * 
 * DESCRIPTION
 *      Basic searching function locating elements of the VOBJECT by qualified
 *      name.  The function is a varargs function (like sprintf) and the list
 *      of arguments must be NULL terminated (hence the appearance of the
 *      p_qualifier argument in the arglist).  Valid calls might be:
 *
 *        vf_get_property(&p_out, p_object, VFGP_FIND, NULL, "N", NULL);
 *          - find and return "N" properties.  If there are none, return FALSE.
 *
 *        vf_get_property(&p_out, p_object, VFGP_FIND, NULL, "TEL", "WORK", NULL);
 *          - find and return "TEL" entries qualified by the "work" attribute
 *            (ie. work phone numbers). If there are none, return FALSE.
 *
 *        vf_get_property(&p_out, p_object, VFGP_GET, NULL, "TEL", "WORK", NULL);
 *          - find and return work phone number.  The entry is automatically
 *          added if not pre-existing.
 *
 *        vf_get_property(&p_out, p_object, VFGP_GET, NULL, "TEL", "WORK", NULL);
 *          - find and return work phone numbers in the group identifier by the "ME"
 *          identifier.  The entry is automatically added if not pre-existing.
 *
 *        vf_get_property(&p_out, p_object, VFGP_FIND, "ME", "*", NULL);
 *          - effectively enumerates all entries in the "ME" group.
 *
 *      A pointer to the first property matching the search criteria is returned
 *      via the pp_prop argument.  The search actually locates all such matches
 *      and pointer to subsequent entries (if there are >1) may be found by
 *      calling the vf_get_next_property() function.
 *
 *      The tags may occur in any order _except_ that the p_name must be first.
 *
 *      Note that the VF_PROP_T returned by pp_prop is an opaque type and the
 *      functions vf_get_prop_xxxx() etc. must be used to locate real "values".
 *
 *      Cached search results (the list enumerated by subsequent calls to the
 *      vf_get_next_property() function) are maintained through the use of a
 *      a single internal pointer therefore this method is not thread safe.
 *
 * RETURNS
 *      TRUE iff found/added successfully.  Ptr to prop returned via pp_prop.
